Sylvia Browne answers some of the popular questions from SpiritNow.com readers.

I wonder sometimes about God. What is he really like?

God is simply perfect love and an ever-present force. God always loves us. God created us from good and He gave us free will. Some religions have attempted to create God to have a vengeful, angry or even a vindictive personality. But these religions have not done this out of cruelty; they have done it as part of their ancient teaching philosophy. Uneducated people can be managed by fear. But thoughtful, educated people will want more information. God does not have these negative human-like personality characteristics. God is 100% love at all times.

Is our astrology sign important?

Yes it is! We choose our sun sign, our rising sign and our moon sign and they are all important. We choose everything just as we would like it to be. My Spirit Guide Francine says that everything is charted out for us ahead of time, that we select what we would like to experience. Don't you know of people who were born a month "early or "late?" These people simply chose a different astrology sign for their charts.

How can I find love?

Some people have fallen in love and have loved the wrong person. I have done this myself, so I speak from experience. Do not say that you won't love again; simply stop loving the wrong people. Don't give your love to people that don't love you back or don't deserve it. There is an old-fashioned saying that is very true, "Don't cast your pearls before swine."

Why do I feel that my relationship with my cat is so special?

This is because you are experiencing a relationship with unconditional love. Having unconditional love in your life is very special. You will know unconditional love because you don't have to "do" anything; you simply have to "be." A relationship with a pet is one where you have that unconditional love. It is the same with a relationship with a child. Other people in your life can give this unconditional love, but know that this type of relationship can be very rare to have and should be treasured.

First I lose my car and now my job. Why is God picking on me so much?

Please understand that God does not select people to play Russian roulette with for any reason. He also does not choose people to be ever-suffering and become constant martyrs. Very often when something happens in our lives, it is our chart at work, the chart we created when we chose to incarnate. You selected this specific chart to have life lessons and to learn from them. Often when we have a tragedy, we can grow spiritually and emotionally from that experience. Many times we can choose to help others who will face that same type of experience in their lives. God is always good and never "picks on" people for any reason.

How can I make my life better?

Even though we have a life chart that describes our major events, visualization and positive thinking are very helpful for your life. Visualization and positive thinking help guide you how to get to where you are going. They are both useful tools that you can use on a regular basis.

I think of bears all the time. Does this mean something?

You are most likely attracting to yourself your totem. A totem (or anima) is an animal spirit that will be with us throughout our lifetime. This animal spirit is one that connects in some way with our life theme. The grizzly bear is the totem for those who have the life theme of the "warrior." Your bears are reminding you of your own warrior energy. Totems protect us and give us positive energy whenever we need it.

My beloved dog died, is he okay? Will I meet him again on The Other Side?

Absolutely you will. Animals are very spiritual beings and are actually born perfect. Pets actually come to earth simply to live their lives with us; they have no need to learn life lessons as we do. Your pet is already very accustomed to The Other Side, and astral traveled there at least four times a week while they slept. They have known The Other Side very well and you will certainly see them on The Other Side once more.

What can I do to help my child's spiritual life?

Helping your child develop spiritually is just as important as any other part of their life. Teach them to pray every night and pray with them at night as they are young. Surround them with the white light of the Holy Spirit every night. This is a wonderful practice and they will feel God's love for them.

I think something bad happened to me in a past life,and that it is affecting me now. Does this happen sometimes to people?

Every lifetime you have had will affect the lifetime you have right now. Both the positive and the negative experiences you have had will affect your life. You have had strong positive experiences that you remember on a very deep level, and you also have had strong negative experiences that you remember. Becoming conscious of them and understanding what happened is a very healing way to release them if they are affecting your life in a negative way.

I have a telephone pole in my backyard that I named "Jolly." The other telephone pole that is seen from my backyard, but is actually in my next door neighbor's backyard, is named "Telly." "Telly" has a big brown transformer attached to him. "Telly," like "Jolly" are getting pretty old. They're 61 years old now! "Telly" still sports his original General Electric transformer that makes a thump and a pop when it's stormy! Sadly, in 1984 both "Telly" and "Jolly" had their lower crossbars removed! Those crossbars contained three beautiful glass insulators each. I used to marvel at the sunshine shining through those insulators casting a mystical glow all throughout the year. When the electric company removed those crossbars I know that poor "Jolly" and "Telly" were sad too. I can sense these things. I walked over to "Telly" and gently caressed his pole. I could sense that he liked me doing so. I spoke to him saying that I still thunk that you're beautiful, and "Telly,' too even with your bottom crossbars removed. I felt "Jolly's" pole stiffen and get warm. He was content now. I blew "Telly" a kiss and I said, "Keep up your guard, "Telly." "Telly" gave me a reassuring wink that he was gonna ok too! Every morning for the last 30 years I take my classical guitar outside in the backyard and I sing and play in honor of my precious telephone poles. "Telly" and "Jolly" will really seem to like my guitar playing because they always make the wires attached to them vibrate like my guitar's strings do when I strum them. There's something about vibrating strings on a classical guitar that get me off sexually! Especially the big bass string! Wow! That's cool!

Dearest Sylvia, As a newcomer (about 5yrs) to you're spiritual teachings and you're awesome physic abilities, I now own almost every book you have written and I thrive on the information you have every time I see you. My question is will my daughter and her family get their lives together both physically and financially and become independant again on their own, so me and my husband will be healthly, wealthy and wise again?
I have prayed so hard to Mother God to restore my hearing loss, will it happen. Linda B

Even with all of the data available exposing Sylvia and her son Chris as the frauds that they are, people are still unwilling to accept the fact that those two are flatout criminals. Sylvia Browne IS a convicted felon along with her third exhusband "Dal." Please do some research on Sylvia and Chris. Just don't assume that they're all layer cake with sweet icing. They're wolves in sheep's clothing; monetary villians ready and willing to prey on the bereaved, the weak and vulnerable. This is how "psychics" make a profitable living. It's really no different than the crooked tele-evangelists who dupe millions of folks with their buttery, I like what they're saying, suave persona. Don't believe it! Go with the power of scientific research and PROVEN data. You may not like what you read, but the truth shall set you free.
